Figure 1From: Atomic force microscopy investigation of the kinetic growth mechanisms of sputtered nanostructured Au film on mica: towards a nanoscale morphology control AFM images of the starting Au film: (a) 40 μm × 40 μm AFM scan of the starting 28-nm Au film sputter-deposited on the mica substrate; (b) 0.5 μm × 0.5 μm AFM scan of the same sample, to evidence the percolative nature of the film.
